The maze was seeping with syrup. Pancakes and teacups everywhere in sight. Slices of cake with plates underneath them. Small creatures walked around the maze, unaware of their intruders.

Nepeta had never seen such a delicious looking maze before, it was almost like a tea party in motion. Kanaya stood next to Nepeta as they snuck around the labyrinth, searching for the witch that held her place here.

"Her room must be ahead, at the end of the hallway," Aradia informed, floating ahead of the group.

Kanaya looked behind her to see a group of women-like minions were following them, "minions! Nepeta, go up front with Aradia!"

Nepeta followed the orders and made her way to the front with Aradia, who turned her head slightly to see that an army of them were behind the girls now. Aradia snapped her fingers and created a barrier around Nepeta and scratch.

"Nepeta, stay here, warn us if there's any movement," informed Aradia. Nepeta sat and watched the rest of the hallway, hoping the witch wouldn't come out of no where to frighten her. When she was sure that nothing was coming her way, she turned to watch the fight progress.

Kanaya and Feferi had their usual weapons along with amazing spells.

Feferi stomped her foot on the ground, a trident popping from the ground. With angelic movements, jumped into the air and kicked the trident at an enemy.

Kanaya conjured almost ten chainsaws, all of them raging wildly at the sound of screaming minions being defeated, and sent them flying at the nurse-looking creatures.

Aradia was unlikely to be the close range attacker, but her skills at that were amazing; she grabbed at one minion that was coming at her and threw her at another. She the corners of her coatjacket, pulled them into her chest, and then flung them apart. Red gears appeared behind and before her. Aradia smiled wickedly, walking away from the center of the gears.

"What Are You Doing?" Kanaya asked. Aradia turned to her and winked. The gears went running toward the minions, smashing them with the path they took. Kanaya watched the gears destroy the extra minions and then they were gone.

"Looks like we're done here, you okay, Nepeta?" Feferi asked.

Nepeta nodded, the barrier unraveling that was protecting her unraveling and slithering back into Aradia's hands.

When they made it to the door, Aradia turned to the girls and smiled at them, "Girls, would you mind if I fought the witch myself?" The girls stared at her in utter amazement.

"You Recommend Fighting This Witch On Your Own?" Kanaya asked, a slight surprised look on her face.

Aradia smiled even wider. Nepeta was quite curious about her new friends's request. Of course it would have something to do with the fact that the witch would finally be dead.

"And I want Nepeta to stay with me," she added. Everyone looked up in surprise.

"I don't think we should put the girl in this much danger, it's bad enough we bring her along with us to this," Feferi said, reaching out to hug Nepeta, who excepted it without saying anything.

While snuggling her head into Feferi's surprisingly warm chest, she considered this, if she stayed, she'd find out what it was about Aradia and fighting these things that she found so intriguing. She'd also find out if Aradia was secretly a sadistic person who only brings it out in her fighting.

"I'll stay," Nepeta muttered.

Kanaya stared at Nepeta with amazement, then chuckled,"Are You Sure?"

Nepeta nodded.

"Alright, Nepeta Will Stay With Aradia," Kanaya turned on the heel of her boot and walked down the other end of the hall. Feferi pulled away to look at Nepeta straight in her eyes, "are you sure you want to do this?" Nepeta nodded. Fef squeezed the girl's shoulders, "alright, we'll stay outside," as if she was walking away from her first love, Fefuri walked after Kanaya.

Aradia smiled as the two made their way back to the outside world, "you ready?" She slid what looked like a whip from out her sleeve. Nepeta nodded. Aradia smiled wider, kicked open the door, and cracked her whip.

"Who's ready to die?!"

A large girl with a distorted face turned to them. Her eyes were two different colors; blood shot red, and blue as the skies in the outside world. Her body was one of women who died in her maze, almost like the female Frankenstein, but more body then heart.

The creature swung her stitched arm at the girls on the ledge. Gears appeared before Nepeta, backing her away from the beginning fight.

"Watch what magical girl can do, Nepeta!" Aradia exclaimed, falling backwards into the battle field.

With a crack of her whip, the crazed sadist sent minions flying out toward the grinding gears. Frightend, Nepeta stood as far back from the fears as possible. The grinding caused a constant scratching to reach Nepeta's ears. Aradia cracked her whip at the witch, who responded by revealing sharp teeth, chomping at Aradia.

When the monster had itsouth open, Aradia cracked her whip at it's teeth, the rope wrapping around a tooth. She then swung herself inside the monsters mouth.

"Aradia!" Nepeta exclaimed, looking the open holes of the gears, when the monster finally got a bite of her.

After a minute, something in the monsters mouth was kicking, bulging, and slightly ripping at the witch's skin. Nepeta was finally seeing this, a sadistic, half dead, magical girl with a wish to experience death while in her fighting witches. She looked at Scratch behind her, his blank face tilting slightly to the left.

"You finally see it now?" The cat asked. Nepeta felt sick. What was happening? Why did she agree to stay with Aradia to watch this? Was she considering to become a witch? Did she even have a wish to be granted? What the hell!?

Aradia smashed through the gears that protected Nepeta, her thoughts diminished when Aradia grabbed her and carried her as she ran down the hall.

"What happen?" Nepeta asked, looking up at Aradia.

The sadist just looked at her and smiled. Nepeta's eyes widened.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing! Just destroyed the fucking thing!"

Nepeta looked up to find the monster crawling quickly towards them, "Aradia! The things following us!"

"Exactly!"

They jumped out the labyrinth. Kanaya and Feferi grabbed Nepeta. Aradia conjured a thousand of gears and threw them at the monster before it jumped out the maze, blood spilling everywhere. Almost six grief seeds fell from it's mouth.

Nepeta sat shaking as the blood disappear as the labyrinth did. Aradia came to her kneeling down to hug her. Nepeta nudged her face into Aradia's chest, crying her eyes into the dark oblivion.

"It's fine, I didn't expect her reaction to be this," Aradia told Kanaya, who asked what the fuck had happened back there and why Nepeta was crying out her tears. Nepeta let the conversation fade to the back of her mind. She was in need of her Best friend; the someone who'd protected her his entire life.

"E-equius...take me to him!" She exclaimed, silencing the yelling.
